Home Staging in Charlotte NC Is Critical

With homes selling on an average of 96 days in Charlotte, and prices rising higher, it’s imperative you leverage every available asset at your disposal to capitalize on your asset.

And between you and us, the real-estate market is actually suffering because Charlotte doesn’t have enough houses to sell.

But yours can sell tomorrow, if you’re well prepared to take advantage of your unique opportunity.

Model staging at its core evokes a sense of possibility. Once well executed, staged homes have an exquisite divinity, bustling with opportunities swimming around in your prospective buyers’ heads.

That’s exactly where you want them.

 

Professional Home Staging Services Secure Higher Selling Prices

You can’t argue with numbers.

And you’re in a unique position as a seller. If you want to maximize your profit from selling your soon-to-be model staged home, you must make the necessary psychological shift from consumer to investor.

Simply put, if you’re looking to sell your home (or the home of a client), force yourself to think like an investor. Ask yourself questions like, “How can I limit my financial risk by ensuring this home sells?”

Answer: Home staging services.

Home staging is an excellent investment when selling your home.

The numbers don’t lie.

The natural resistance to investing in professional home staging stems from our collective consumer mindset, which is typically centered around one thing:

How can I save money?

What we should ask is: How can I minimize my risk of not selling my home?

 

Calculate Return of Investment for Home Staging

Let’s calculate our Return of Investment (ROI) using this formula:

ROI= (Gain from Investment - Cost of Investment) / Cost of Investment

Average home selling price in charlotte (investment gain): $270,957

Cost of home staging (investment cost): $1,000-$5,000

ROI= (270,957 - 1,000) / 1,000 = 269.98 (That’s basically a 270 percent return on your investment!)

ROI= (270,957 - 5,000) / 5,000 = 53.19 (This is a 53 percent return on your investment!)
